Statement of faith
The divine inspiration of the Bible as presented in the Old and New Testaments; that it is inerrant in the original writings, and is of supreme and final authority in faith and practice.
One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The creation of man in the divine image, man's subsequent fall through sin, resulting in the universal guilt and total depravity, and the necessity, therefore, of redemption and restoration found only through Jesus Christ.
The deity of Jesus Christ-His virgin birth, perfect life, redeeming death, bodily resurrection, heavenly intercession and His imminent, personal return.
The personality of the Holy Spirit by Whose regenerative work sinful man is born again, and by Whose indwelling regenerate man is enabled to live a godly life.
The bodily resurrection of the redeemed and the unredeemed, the redeemed unto eternal life with Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven reserved for those who are saved, and the unredeemed to divine judgment and punishment in Hell reserved for those who are lost.
The spiritual unity of all the believers as comprising the true Church; which has the duty to preach the Gospel to every people until Christ returns.

History
The history of Missionary Air Group, Inc., formerly Harvester's International Mission, is the story of God's bringing together a diverse group of people and ministries over a period of decades to accomplish what none of them could ever have dreamt of accomplishing alone.
This is the story of an organization that, initially under the leadership of Dr. Davis Goodman, was used by God to train pilots for foreign mission fields, and then to equip them with needed airplanes. And now, under the leadership of Rev. Sean Donnelly, it is an organization through which God is using those pilots and airplanes (and doctors, and nurses, and pastors, and many others) to deliver medical care and the gospel to some of the most remote and isolated people groups on Earth.
Ultimately, this is the story of God's calling people to serve Him, then training them, then equipping them, and then finally sending them to "every nation, tribe, people and language" (Rev.7:9) in order to show compassion to the nations - in order to give them life!
